Troubleshooting
Initializing the Scanner
Important
: This procedure clears all infor-
mation you stored in the scanner's memory.
Initialize the scanner only when you are sure
the scanner is not working properly.
1. Turn off the scanner, then turn it on 
again.
2. Hold down 
MON/CL
.
3. While you hold down 
MON/CL
, insert a 
pointed object, such as a straightened 
paper clip, into the 
RESET
 opening on 
the back of the scanner and gently press 
then release the reset button inside the 
opening. The display should clear.
4. When the display reappears, release
MON/CL
.
Note: 
You must release the reset button 
before you release 
MON/CL
, otherwise the 
memory might not clear.
CARE
Keep the scanner dry; if it gets wet, wipe it 
dry immediately. Use and store the scanner 
only in normal temperature environments. 
Handle the scanner carefully; do not drop it. 
Keep the scanner away from dust and dirt, 
and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to 
keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the scanner’s 
internal components can cause a 
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty 
and void your FCC authorization to operate 
it. If your scanner is not performing as it 
should, take it to your local RadioShack store 
for assistance.
